It's up against Little Big Planet and it isn't as good. But I can't get onto the PSN anymore because of connection issues, so I probably will download the BK demo...well I would if it wouldn't take 6 hours to do so on my 512k internet connection, and I'm too addicted to post election political commentary and squables on various message boards to have my internet hooked up to Live that long. I wish I could tear myself away from such things...at least long enough to brush my teeth and get some exercise.

 

for that i'd have to start to concider LBP as a game on it's own..... 3 hours campain... a level editor and multiplayer oriented... for the price it's a rip off.... imagine they start selling warcraft with just the tutorial the level editor and online.... or for that matter any other game.... so we have a tech demo on one side and an acual game on the other side.... that's my point of view.... even if it was bad i'd still put down 60 bucks for it before I event start thinking about buying LBP for the same price....

 

LBP is so far from being just a tech demo it's not even funny.  What you get with LBP is a single player game and a community of levels, some of which are so amazing the work involved must have taken forever.  You get access to a never ending supply of new and inventive levels from people who are just making them just for the joy of trying to see what they can do.  Tetris, Gradius, there have been some great games made through this level editor.  I would put the levels on the disc of LBP up against any platformer I have ever played.  And some of the user created stuff comes close to that greatness as well.

 

I understand you don't like hearing someone badmouth BK, that's all well and good, but you are dead wrong on the value of LBP.

I was with you up until the bolded part: either you've played very few platformers or your just juicing up your post with added hyperbole to help ram your point home, but I'm going to have to call foul on that comment.

I think the best way to describe LBP is the whole is greater than the sum of its parts (cliched, sure, but also mostly accurate).
